Didn't see it myself but have seen the goals this morning. @JTM This is not a dream ! Oh yes, unfunkingbelievable what a result, totally unexpected. To draw level at 3 - 3 was one thing but that cheeky corner from Trent AA to Origi for the fourth goal was pure genius, Barca were asleep, serves 'em right. The other good thing, the traitorous Courtinio and cheat Suarez were in the losing side. Bring on number six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Not sure it was totally unexpected. I think Barca thought that they just had to turn up? Not the case. Klopp deserves all the plaudits Sends a message that Spanish football is all about money. No success for them. I truly believe that the Premier League is the best, bar none, in the world when it comes to passion and the never give up attitude. I bet Las Ramblas is in a state of shock this morning. You know me man, but hats off to the lads to pull off that win. Truly great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never ever thought Liverpool are able to beat the 3:0 against Barcelona. Making 4 goals against Barca is incredible but preventing them from shooting a single goal is epic. KLOPPO!!!! 2 consecutive years in CL final is a fantastic achievement. And there will be no Sergio Ramos in Madrid Come on Ajax - they played so very well, they deserved the final, too Wow. It was in England but its huge. Did they have their full unit? Beating Barcelona is a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the other poster, I did not know Harry Kane was injure. That is big. What about Delle Ally? Does he not play for Tottenham? I see that Leicester has played decent of late.

Not only are both Champions League finalists Premier League teams, both Europa League finalists are as well! (Trivial fact as a result - the UEFA Super Cup game in August will also be an all-Premier League affair; a fact, if I remember correctly, that is unprecedented.)

Proof that you can buy anything (except a European trophy) when your team is state sponsored with billions of £ at their disposal, a bottomless pit of money, it's a mockery, thoroughly undeserved. I don't care how entertaining Citeh have been for the tourists that fill the otherwise empty seats in their rented stadium. I'm sorry Forevermore but great accomplishment my backside.

Still, a great accomplishment I must admit winning the domestic Grand Slam in a strong league like the PL is an accomplishment, yes. But City's Sheiks didn't spend a Billion last summer for the Caribou Cup. They expect the Champions League title. It's Guardiola's 3rd season with City and he didn't deliver the CL title yet. I am pretty sure that's very disappointing for the Sheiks and Pep himself. Let's agree we are happy with both finals It's spectacular and speaks for the strong league.

Basically the Premier league has Champions (Man City) then 3 go down to The championship. Huddersfield, Cardiff, Fulham. Then 3 come up from The Championship. They have a play off. Straight into the Premier League go Norwich & Sheffield United. Then Leeds, West Brom, Aston villa and Derby play off for the one remaining spot 3. It's the same for the other divisions 4. No we don't have a "draft" . That stopped in the 1960's i believe 5. Don't really understand "reshuffling of players". Each player belongs to their respective clubs. 6.

Strider Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Dear Robert Plant, Sorry the Reds blanked your Wolves like that. Please don't hold it against us. The match had to be played...they couldn't not compete, after all. Better luck next year. We look forward to your next tour.

And contracts run out so players are signed to different teams I would imagine. And there are many players that are not from England. Players from all over the world. So August it starts again? Wow. I thought baseball and hockey were long here. they are but so is the Premier league. I guess you do not have to suffer for too long. So do you think its going to be between MC and Livverpool again next year? If the squads do not change much, why would one expect much different of an outcome given the talent on those two teams? I know Leicester City played well down the stretch. So 3 teams get knocked out of the Premier league and 3 get a chance to play in the bigger league? Strange way to go about things IMO. Norwich and Sheffield I will be bettering against on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
